Developing business objects for the Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve Module

This chapter describes how the Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve Module processes business objects and describes the assumptions the connector makes when retrieving data. You can use this information as a guide to modifying existing business objects or as suggestions for implementing new ones.

In addition to providing background information on business objects and their processing, this chapter describes how to develop business objects for the Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve Module using SAPODA (an Object Discovery Agent), which generates business object definitions from tables you specify graphically. This utility is most useful for creating individual business object definitions rather than hierarchical business object definitions.

For a description of the Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve Module, see Overview of the Hierarchical Dynamic Retrieve Module.
